So, my mom was out walking this morning with Andrea (Julia's mom) and ran into Cady and Brittany's dad, and Brittany's dad said that Brittany was going to be in Washington tomorrow, Marching for Women's Lives, as I will ( Read more... )

I've been in a Santa Monica mood all day. It's been downright hot here, leading to hourlong meals on the grass outside and barefoot frisbee and smiling at people I wouldn't normally smile at, just because it's so damn nice that there's no way to not appreciate everyone and everything around you ( Read more... )

This campus is awesome today. It's sixtysomething degrees (after snow a few days ago), and everyone is out on the grass, sleeping and reading. There were people drumming in the ampitheater as I walked back to my dorm, and there are spring flowers everywhere. Daffodils and crocuses and other sorts of flowers that seem to be part of the definition of ( Read more... )

I can see how making drunken entries is tempting. When you come home and your computer is on, and you have to turn it off before you go to bed but first, of course, you have to check your email and lj, and there is an extra divide between the mind and the screen which is tempting to bridge with rambling and revealing. But I don't think I willl go ( Read more... )

The middle part of today was excellent, though the beginning involved waking up at 7 am to falling snow (it was so nice yesterday, dammit!) in order to do my french homework, and the end involves too much math hw and not enough willy wonka watching for my liking. But the middle was truly pleasant, and I wanted to record it for posterity before I ( Read more... )

now it's just the last few minutes, everything packed, waiting for the time to come so we don't get there TOO early but there's nothing else to do here but listen to the beatles and track the excitement running through my entire body ( Read more... )

I am deeply exhausted. 4 games=7 hours or so of frisbee. I've been sleeping on and off ever since I got back from dinner, which would be around 7 pm. I had all sorts of grandiose plans to go out tonight, and in theory I would still realy like to, but in reality it's much, much better if I just go to bed. There's a dance party where they promised to ( Read more... )

Today my friend Emily told me that I have much more work than she does. This was greatly reassuring to me. I do have a lot of work, certainly, but I was somewhat afraid that I just had the same amount of work as everyone else and a bad work ethic. But she told me I have more work than she does and I think I believe her. I got very little done this ( Read more... )

It's been chamomile tea with honey at all hours, these days ( Read more... )

It is so beautiful outside. Even more distinct than yesterday because there are no clouds anywhere to stop the sunlight from making crisp tree shadows against the snow. It's not even cold with my peacoat on and my church basement bag slung over my shoulder, walking up and down cleared paths smiling at the world ( Read more... )
